2018 End Of World War I - 100th Anniversary 1oz Silver Proof Coin

This beautiful 1oz silver proof coin commemorates the centenary of the Armistice in 1918.

Signed between France, Britain and Germany in a railway carriage in the Forest of Compiègne north of Paris, the Armistice implemented a ceasefire at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. The Treaty of Versailles, which formally ended the war, was then signed on 28 June 1919.

Featured on the coin’s reverse is a dove, a bird which has for millennia represented peace, holding in its beak a red poppy.

Poppies were the first flowers to bloom in the devastated battlefields of Western Europe and soon became widely accepted as the symbol of remembrance. In the background is the word peace struck in different fonts, the inscription ‘1918 END of WORLD WAR I’ and The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.

Struck from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver, this coin is limited to just 5,000 worldwide!
